MSNBC host Chris Matthews faces new allegations of sexual misconduct in the workplace after multiple witnesses came forward to claim he runs an abusive and often sexist work environment.<\/p>\n
Two former NBC producers described Matthews as an unstable tyrant who was \u201cliable to fly off the handle at the slightest mistake,\u201d\u00a0The Daily Caller<\/a>\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n Some staffers for his nightly show, “Hardball,” reportedly referred to themselves as having “battered wives syndrome.” They said Matthews made inappropriate sexual comments and that he had devised a system to rate the appearance of female guests who appeared on his show. The DC reports:<\/p>\n Both former NBC producers requested anonymity out of concern for their future careers. One is actively seeking a job in media and the other still works closely with MSNBC. One expressed fears about being labeled a \u201ctroublemaker\u201d and cited the string of former Fox News women who have all but disappeared from television.<\/p>\n \u201cSadly, I know other women who won\u2019t even be an anonymous source regarding Chris [Matthews] because they\u2019re that concerned about the door closing on career opportunities in media,\u201d the producer concluded.<\/p>\n \u201cHe would eye down a woman who walked on set or comment on their features or what they were wearing,\u201d one former producer said, explaining that it looked like Matthews was undressing the women with his eyes. \u201cHe would objectify them and interrupt them in a way that he would never do to his male guests. He has a very outdated view of women.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Perhaps the most disturbing part of the Caller’s report was Matthew\u2019s apparent extreme emotional volatility, which led five sources to say that working around Matthews made them feel as though they were walking on \u201ceggshells.” The sources claimed that Matthews screamed at staffers, threw objects, and demeaned anyone under him in the hierarchy.<\/p>\n “The screaming is beyond the screaming you\u2019ve ever heard,” one source saId. “You just feel so under attack. He did it so openly\u2026 what are you supposed to do when somebody is verbally abusing you and attacking you this way?”<\/p>\n Sources said that they were \u201chorrified\u201d by Matthews’ behavior, which they claim left many women in tears as he berated guests and staffers on commercial breaks and after his show. During one such instance, Matthews supposedly chased a staffer off the set, screaming at them, while the rest of the guests on the show watched in horror.<\/p>\n \u201cSeeing it would have made you shudder \u2026 you don\u2019t forget something like that,\u201d said a former producer who described the incident.<\/p>\n MSNBC did not immediately respond to request for comment from The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n Out of all the major news networks, MSNBC appears to have the lowest standards for employee conduct — if three recent disturbing revelations resulting in punitive action are any guide:<\/p>\n\n
